I keep seeing ads about if you consolidate debt etc you can pay a fraction of what you owe and get out of debt. My question is who pays the rest of it. Is it insurance companies, tax payers, or that's just built in when Banks loan money as an acceptable risk/reward..
 
depends on the agreement you get into.

DMP's (debt management plans) are the best if you give zero fucks about defaulting and agree a payment plan. But that's 10 years of no credit/black marks on your report.

Whatever you do, don't get an IVA and don't let any snake oil salesman con you into getting one. You'll end up losing the equity in your house or some other crazy shit at the end.
 
The consolidation companies that offer to save money by paying less than the full value, are often considered as going to collections.
And the lender sells the debt to them for less then you pay them...

How is that even possible?
No-one is going to pay for your debt.
If it was true, everyone would be doing it.

Sure seems like alot of ads for something that doesn't exist. And seems like everyone is doing it. (everyone trying to get out of debt anyway)

It just means you will pay less interest. Can t think of a bank that will refund part of your debt and lol at taxpayer money.

Well if the money isn't coming from taxpayers, or insurance Company then effectively the banks are refunding the money. Unless there's a money wizard paying the banks back.
 
The bank and the taxpayers both eat it.

The bank writes it off as bad debt and in turn pays less taxes that year, which causes the govt to seek more taxes from us.

Or in some instances, the bank writes it off as bad debt and the govt says "Here's a bunch of money so you don't have to feel the consequences of your stupid decisions." That's what happened in 2008

The only way it works is if the first bank thinks you are going to default so they sell your debt for say, 80 cents on the dollar. So this first bank loses. Second bank makes a deal with you for say 90 cents so everyone wins except first bank who gets fucked.

You guys are mixing up everything. When a bank makes a loss it reduces its earnings before taxes so it pays less tax. Just like any business doing losses. It s not the same as "the taxpayer paying for it".

Did you read the rest of my post? I explained how the taxpayers pay for it.

Or the banks paying less taxes causes the government to just tax everyone more to make up the loss.
